Gift Certificates and Renting Tools, pt 1

It's Tuesday, and no call back from the manager of the auto parts store by the time I get back home,which was relatively early because I was in at work by 8:30am and ate lunch at my desk. So, I change out of my button up shirt and slick pants into jeans, running shoes, and an old black RedHat tshirt, while still wearing my Speedmaster, and head on down a few blocks to check in with them. When I arrived the same guy who I dealt with was at the counter and we caught up fast on what I've done so far, etc, we followed up on the batteries and he went in back of the new batteries where his manager was chillin' at and talked for a minute or two, came back, and said no more than 5 batteries per day, but he can give me a gift card today worth the 8 batteries I brought in so far. After having issues with one card reader for 5 mins he jumped on another box and that seemed to work well, and I had a $40 gift card. I also "rented" a puller for the flywheel adapter. "Rented" means you pay full price, but get a full refund from them upon return.. something like $41, I told him I'd be back in a half hour..

 This puller had two different settings on the arm, via moving a bolt, and could be either 2 or 3 jaw..

 I soon discovered the 2 jaw worked out better for a single person. The difficulty was with the size of the adapter. I actually had to start it by prying it out a bit jus to get a good grasp on it, but using this tool was much better than a flat head.. a hammer pry or crow bar would have worked, but I have neither (my frog shelves are built using dovetails, so I used a mallet and chisels.. yeah!). Took less than 20 mins to get the thing off. It looks like the key is a separate object (common, and is usually one of the hardest steels you will ever find) but seems stuck in place (probably from the massive amount of torque)  on the shaft, I didn't play around with this much. I tried pulling the bellhousing off, no luck.. tried using the puller to get the bellhousing off, and it was just a tad too small for this. I return the current puller and let the guy know that I got the adapter off, but the bellhousing is still on there, so when I bring my batch of 4 batteries tomorrow, I will "rent" the same kind of puller, but for flywheels, at the same time to try and get this thing off.
Should be all for the night, I might pry at the bellhousing a little bit longer, but if there is a right tool for the job, use it!
